Anecdotes Of Peter cartwright.

Peter Cartwright was the name OF
well.known Methodist pioneer.
He was sort of peregrinating pig
con. who flew over the hills and
swamps upon his apostolic wings.
He feared nothing, and WAS AS strong
as he was brave. At certain camp.
meeting he got in trouble with a sci
of roughs who tried TO break up the
services. Mai. L., who WAS promi-
nent citizen, though great SINNER"
identified himself with the roughs,
and. flying into a desperate rage, said
if he thought Cartwright would fight
him a duel he would challenge him.
"Major," the preacher answered,
''if you challenge me 1 will accept
it,"
"Well. sir, dare you to a mortal
combat"
"AIl right, sir. I'll fight you. And,
SIR, according to the laws of honor |
suppose it is my right to choose the
weapons with which we are to fight"
"Certainly," the Major replied.
"Well. then. we will step over here
into this lot and get couple of corn
stalks. l think l can finish you with
one"
The Major waxed hotter. He
clenched his f1st and fOamed with
rage, saying: IF 1 though l could
whiD you would snite you in a
minute"
"Yes, yes, Major" the militant
minister asserted = but, thank God,
you can't whip me; only don't you
attempt to strike me, for if you do,
and the devil gets into me, l shall
give you the worst whipping you
ever got in all your life." That en-.
ded it.
Another bully threatened to whip
the Rev. Cartwright. who answer.
ed, Sir, never like to live in dread.
If you really intend to whip me,
come and do it now"
The bully continued his curses and
threats, and the minister jumped of
his horse, going to him said" Look
here. you will have to whip me as
you threatened, or you will have to
stop that cursing, or / will put you
in the river and baptiZe you in the
name of the devil, for surely you be.
long to him."
The bully repented, and afterwards
became one of the preachers best
friends,

tenant was an old lady. who liked to
sit in particularly comfortable chair

Henry Grady and Sam Jones.

Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
l have just heard an interesting
story on Henry Grady and Sam
Jones. A week or two ago Sam Jones
preached here, and. as usual, to II
large audience. He depicted in his
graphic manner, the various roads to
hell, and was specially severe upon
the base ball route, which was also
as usual. When Sam Jones turns
himself loose on anything to make it
look despicable and mean he is espe-
cially happy, and when he got
through with baseball on this occa.
si"n it looked like whipped rooster
after two hours fight. Robbers,
burglars, and murderers grew to be
very respectable folks compared with
baseball players. and one was almost
moved to believe that baseball was
meant when the objectionable sin
was referred to in Holy Writ. Among
the audience was Henry w. Grady,
late President of the Atlanta Base.
ball Club, who had come out in re-
Spouse to a pressing invitation from
one of Mr.. Jones' most ardent ad-
mirers. When the sermon was over,
this apostle of Sam Jones said to
him: IL am very sorry you preached
against baseball to-day" why"
asked the evangelist. because Hen.
ry Grady was in the congregation.
who is an enthusiast on baseball, and
I am afraid your sermon will drive
him off from coming to church
again." "Well, / am sorry didn't
know that ; you tell Mr.. Grady that
if had known he was present I
would not have preached against
baseball" This message was deliv.
cred to Mr.. Grady, whereupon he
sent the following reply to Sam
Jones: "YOu tell Mr.. Jones that
am not afraid of going TO hell be.
cause of my love for baseball. but
that if he was preaching the Gospel
he ought not to care who it hurt"

Hon Henry g. Davis. ex-senator
from West Virginia and president nj
the West Virginia Central Railway
company, last evening gave dinner
at the Hotel Rennert, to number OF
railway managers and others inter-
ested in the transportation lines in
this section. The cards invited the
guests to meet Hon. Arthur P. Cor
man, who is the senior United States
Senator from Maryland and relative
OF ex-senator DAVIS, The company
at table numbered an even dozen, in
Guiding Mr.. Davis. The dinner was
served in the suite of private dining
parlors of the hotel, and the feature
of a round table was introduced. the
latest fashions in bouquets. that does
away with question of precedence.
Senator German, with President
George B. Roberts, of the Pennsyl-
vania Roilroad c0mpan, on his right,
and President Robert Garrett, of the
Baltimore and Ohio, on his left, sat
opposite Mr.. Davis; Hon. VIM. Fl.
Barnum, of Connecticut, president of
the HousatOnic Railroad company
and \ director of the West Virginia
Central, and Mr.. Enoch Pratt, for %
years the vice president of the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad company, had seats by the
side of Mr.. Davis. Vice President,
Frank Thompson, of the Pennsylva-
mia; Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, presi-
dent of the Piedmont and Cumber-
land Railroad; President John NJ.
Hood, of the Western Maryland
Railroad; President l.. Victor Baugh-
man, of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal company; Vice Presiden:
Samuel Spencer. of the Baltimore
and Ohio, and Mr.. VIM. f. Burns,
chairman of the finance committee of
the Baltimore and Ohio board, com.
pleted the list of guests.
The relations of the West Virginia
Central with the Baltimore and Ohio
have probably not been the most cor.
dial for year past. and the extension
of that line from Piedmont to a con.
nection with the Pennsylvania at
Cumberland has been the occasion of
disputes. The Piedmont and Cum
berland extension will he open for
business in April, and the Pennsyl.
vania is a guarantOr of its bonds.
AS In the case of the Reading and
Pennsylvania in the Schuylkill hard
coal regions, the time has no doubt
come for an agreement as to the
West Virginia Central traffic in the
bituminOus country. But President
navis said he hoped it would he un-
derstoOd that there was no political
or business significance in the dinner,
which was social gathering of gen.
tlemen, and nothing more. 1t is
said that the West Virginia Central,
having reached Cumberland, is not
seriously inclined to finish its extern
sion further to Williamsport. In re.
spect of the extent and diversity of
Interests represented, it was notable
